John Forde

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. My rationale was
 * Likely autobiography. Promotional tone and despite lengthy article, still unclear that this person passes WP:BIO.

I still stand by that evaluation. The article was created by single-purpose account and developed by him and two IPs from London, UK where Mr. Forde resides. Pascal.Tesson 17:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete unless there are some sources. Claimed notability is his essays on a web site on the filming of LOTR. Possibly they are notable, since the article says they were widely commented on, but it is necessary to show that.DGG (talk) 17:42, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. John Forde did unquestionably write about Lord of the Rings for E!Online, but Google finds limited info (~100 hits) about the combination "John Forde" + "Lord of the rings" and from what I could find, none give to Mr Forde the kind of glowing credit that is found in the present article (in fact, the fourth hit blasts him for his perceived incompetence).
